Their opening games were relatively easy so not many seriously thought they were odds-on just because they twatted Wigan and Blackpool.
But yes, poorest quality title race in a fair few years which is fitting since it's been the poorest PL for a while.
I wouldn;t say it's been a poor quality race at all, quite the opposite. There's still 3 teams in it if Chelsea win at Old Trafford and Arsenal win at Stoke. Chelsea and Arsenal's final 2 games are against sides with nothing to play for, Man U have to play both Blackburn and Blackpool who have everything to play for
